Apple and Celeriac remoulade

By Kitchen Butterfly, posted 9 months ago

I hate Celery....but have just fallen in love with Celeriac. This weekend, I made everything Celeriac - celeriac mash with red wine poached pears and venison, celeriac soup with bacon,carrots and onions (using the lefover mash) and this warming, fresh salad of Celeriac and Apple! I love it. I served it with toasted french bread a la baguette slices and salt-baked sardines

Serves 4

• 1 Lemon, halved and juiced
• 1/2 a celeriac (about 200g)
• 2 sweet, crunchy eating apples
• 6 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons creme fraiche
• 2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
• To serve: slices of toasted, buttered baguette and fresh or tinned sardines
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon slices to garnish

1. Put Lemon juice in a bowl
2. Peel the celeriac with a vegetable peeler or a knife. Do the same for the apples.
3. Wash and then slice both the celeriac and apples into thin slices. Cut each slice into matchsticks and toss in the lemon juice
4. Combine the mayonnaise, cream fraiche and mustard and add to the celeriac-apple mix
5. Season to taste
6. Serve right away, if you like or leave to 'bloom' in the refigerator for a few hours
7. Serve with sardines (from a tin) and slices of buttered and toasted baguette
8. Enjoy
